Love magazine decided to do a feature where they take some of the most successful supermodels of our time and get them to literally bare all, letting us know their measurements and their body hang ups (if they have any). I thought it would be worth a read, but I warn you, you just can't help but unfavourably compare your own measurements to those of the models. However, I was pretty disappointed by this supposed naked truth about just what the tape measure reads when it holds their waists, hips and boobs. Surprisingly, almost every single model has a 24" inch waist (which seemed a slight oddity to me), but more so was the fact that Lara Stone apparently has a 22 inch waist! 22 inches!!!!!! I just circled my tape measure to that and it encases my face, so either I have an abnormally large face or Lara Stone has an impossibly small waist. It seemed such a shame as she is singularly bringing a more well-rounded figure to the runway, yet come on! 34f boobs and a 22" waist, smaller than fellow narrow-waisted models, Kate and Natalia, I really don't believe it.
So the article seems much less interesting me as yet again, when models and celebrities claim they are going to be open and honest about their bodies, they're almost always not.
On the upside though, there are some exceptionally beautiful shots of the models, in particular of Kate and Natalia. I'm not the biggest fan of Kate Moss (I know this is condemned as blasphemous to some of you readers!), but these photographs are infallibly stunning. And though, I don't believe an entirely honest account of their size, I feel they are at least portraying healthy sized models and not size zero. For that I guess, we could applaud.
So what do you guys think about this article?
And who do you think had the best cover? I'm routing for Daria or Natalia, but you can have a look at all eight here.
